Huawei, a major global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, and the Technical and Vocation Training Corporation (TVTC), an organization overseeing all vocational and technical training programs across the Kingdom, have celebrated the conclusion of an international knowledge transfer program held for 20 teachers from TVTC.

The graduation ceremony comes as part of the long-term partnership between TVTC and Huawei to empower young Saudi students looking to pursue a career in the region’s growing IT sector.

The two-week program was hosted by Huawei at its global headquarters in Shenzhen, China, where a diversity of Huawei professors and research experts worked in hand with the TVTC teachers to explore the latest innovations in telecommunication, IT, and unified communication technologies.

As part of the company’s commitment to CSR and supporting the government’s efforts toward Saudization in the technology sector, Huawei covered all costs for the training program for all of the teachers involved.

A ceremony marking the conclusion of the program was held in Shenzhen in the presence of Fahad Al-Tuwaijry, TVTC deputy governor, Yahya bin Abdul-Kareem Al-Zaid, Saudi ambassador to China, as well as numerous high-level Huawei executives and the 20 participating teachers from TVTC.

“This latest educational exchange program between TVTC and Huawei further reinforces the widening cultural and economic relationship between Saudi Arabia and China,” Al-Zaid stated.

“Developing global education initiatives in partnership with leading companies like Huawei has been a key focus for TVTC as we look to ultimately offer students in Saudi Arabia access to the very best global tools and resources to advance their future careers,” Al-Tuwaijry said.

“Huawei is dedicated to strengthening local knowledge transfer programs with our partners across the Kingdom, supporting institutions like TVTC to equip aspiring professionals with the right skills to build successful careers,” said Zhangpeng, VP public affairs and communications at Huawei.
